Sydney Sweeney in Euphoria Season 2.
Looking back at this year’s favorite pop culture moments, we’ve gathered a list of 11 costume ideas for you and your friends to try this Halloween. From Jordan Peele’s film Nope to Cassie in Euphoria, get creative with these characters.
“It feels good to be bad,” so form a team as the best villain sidekicks in the history of villains: The Minions. As an alternative, grab your ragtag team of friends to form the ultimate Vicious 6 hot group from Minions: The Rise of Gru. Embrace the villain origin story with 70’s disco inspo, biker jacket or skatepark helmet and spikes.
What’s more iconic than Pamela Anderson as nightclub owner Barb Wire? Shake off that toxic ex Barb Wire style with leather tights, a black corset, a blonde teased updo, black ball gown gloves and knee high leather heel boots.
A possessed doll really captures the creepiness of Halloween. You can level up by making it a family affair. Get your trio together as revenge-filled family Chucky, Tiffany and their child Glen.
With Austin Butler’s performance as Elvis earlier this summer and Priscilla Presley's memory keeping him alive, show up with your boo as infamous couple Elvis and Priscilla.
This year’s catwoman performance by Zoe Kravitz has fans drooling all over the theater floor during The Batman. Put your look together with the signature cat ski mask and a black tight bodysuit to channel Selina Kyle's sultry, thrill-seeking alter ego.

Scream revived the iconic horror franchise earlier this year, so we think its perfect time to pay homage to a beloved '90s scream queen: Drew Barrymore as Casey Becker. Pair up with someone and be Ghostface and Casey for the ultimate Halloween dup. With a bobbed blonde wig, blue jeans, fleece light sweater and instant stove popcorn, you might just already have this costume in your closet.
Nothing is stronger than the bond between a man and a raccoon as his little chef. Put on your best cooking apron and stuff a raccoon in your chef hat this Hallloween.
Honor one of Marvel's coolest heroes yet: Jennifer Walters as an attorney at law by day and hulk by moment. All you need is green body paint, black and an attorney-approved wardrobe.
Prove you're feeling happier than ever with a recreation of one of TV's most memed about moments. To dress like Cassie from Euphoria, wear white boots, a blue dress and tied-up plaid top with a teased-up, voluminous hairstyle.
Jordan Peele had everyone talking with his new neo-Western science fiction horror film, Nope. You surely couldn't have missed the Gordy's Home! side plotline featuring childhood actor Ricky “Jupe” Park that leaves you saying, “Nope”. Dress up as Ricky Park in the cowboy ensemble he wears as Jupiter’s Claim amusement park's leading man.
It wouldn’t be Halloween without classic Barbie. What's more, between the influx of Barbiecore and all the buzz about next year's Barbie movie, hot pink has really been top of mind. This year, show up as the famous fashion doll in the signature color head-to-toe.
You’re bound to get a good laugh or a few stares in the spirit of Halloween this year. Plus, there’s nothing people love more than seeing some of their favorite throwback characters, so try out some of these ironic costumes to stand out.
